Hello everyone!

I just got my 76 280Z about a month ago, and I thought it would be nice to be able to talk with other people that have the same interest. I'm glad I got this Z and I think its in relatively good condition for its age, but I want to restore it to what I think it should be. =]

Here are some pictures:

Looks good, what are you wanting it to look like in the end? Are you going to make it a Hybrid Z? What is next on the list of parts or restoration factor?

I want to get 240z bumpers, fender mounted mirrors, possibly headlight covers, fix all the rust, and change the exhaust. I'll probably do more, but I'm unsure of what exactly I want to do in the future. As of right now, I want to fix and restore the car back to its original state. i.e. new window seals, window regulator, fix rust, restore suspension and bushings, etc.

I am thinking about putting in a V8, but right now that isn't a priority.

As for next things on the list, I would like to get the 240z bumpers and get rid of the current exhaust for something better, so if anyone has any suggestions for a full cat-back pictures/video/sound clips would be great.

Did you make it to the MSA show a couple weeks ago? There were almost 400 Zs there, lots of ideas in one place.

Unfortunately, I found out about that show a few days after it took place. Otherwise I would have liked to go.

Looks nice in the photos. I agree, that ugly "Rice Rocket" exhaust has to go

Good Luck with your project,you can go mild or you can go wild! Thats what makes 1st Generation Z's great. BSR4EVER!

Looks great, I like that first shot of her at the top.

Your car looks great, I like the first pic as well. I am a purist myself so I can relate to you wanting to restore it. I have yet to drive my 260Z, but I am really looking forward to driving with carbs again!
